Centralising QC management
Peer QC empowers the team to proactively troubleshoot issues by comparing the QC performance of ABL analysers with those of a selected peer group.
This centralised approach has made everything – from analyser maintenance to QC management – more convenient and efficient.
When we didn’t have AQURE, checking instruments’ status daily took almost half a day in and of itself. Now we can use AQURE, everyone is saying how much easier it is.

Compliant reporting made easy
Better still, the report can be used to comply with ISO 15189 reporting requirements, without any changes.
This reporting capability not only makes compliance more straightforward, but has a profound impact on workflow and day-to-day management activities, too.
For instance, the peer QC comparison status module’s color coded alerts make it easy to identify and address potential issues.
I truly believe the amount of time and effort we’re saving is significant because these days, it’s important we try to optimise our staff’s time and help make them more efficient. The AQURE Peer Quality Control module has allowed us to reallocate people to other tests or tasks that need attention.
